RH9 and Math ML or Math Type

I originally posted questions about linking so I could keep my equations in Word. Now one of my managers wants me to take equations created in Latex and bring them into RH 9. I think there are several converters out there, but I'm just not sure where to start.

Has anyone had success using Math ML or Math Type with RH 9? (Or any other program?)

Thanks for the replies. I was hoping for a workaround, but short of changing products I don't see that happening.

Hello again

I'm not sure what you mean by "short of changing products". As I see it, the issue here isn't really the product in use, but more of how these symbols will (or more accurately - will not) be presented from the browser. I might think that would be something ANY product would have an issue with.

I do suppose there may be products out there that allow working with these symbols and as part of the process of creating the HTML, they create images that are used. In that case, you could edit all you like in the product using the actual symbols, but when the product produces the HTML pages that are presented, those symbols are converted to images.

Maybe that's what you meant?

Cheers... Rick

Moving to another product: For example, a certain product lets me directly enter (and edit) equations. At generation, it automatically converts the equations to the appropriate formats for Web Help, Word and PDF. Less degradation from Word to screen capture to RH back to Word and on to PDF.

Management here has a “strong interest” in improving the appearance of the equations so they are legible across all formats. My hope that RoboHelp 9 could do that is rapidly fading. Other products/methods being considered are Latex converters, Math ML, and whatever someone else comes up with.
